ILRI

700 full time staff: 100 scientists & researchers 54% from 22 developing

countries more than 30 scientific

disciplines 2012 budget USD 60 million ILRI works with a range of

research & development partners

across 7 CGIAR research programs

•a member of the CGIAR Consortium which conducts livestock, food and environmental research

to help alleviate poverty and improve food security, health & nutrition, While protecting the natural resource base.

Goal

More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor

To sustainably increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems to increase the availability and affordability of animal-source foods for poor consumers and, in doing so, reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along the whole value chains for animal-source foods.

Overview

Partnership of 4 CGIAR Centers ILRI WorldFish CIAT ICARDA

Officially started January 1st, 2012

Budget $100 million for 3 years

60% from bilateral funds

Big New Ideas

Whole value chain transformation

Multi-disciplinarity Saying no Leveraging development

New ways of thinking about animal source foods Animal source foods for the poor Small is big Animals are good for the environment

A generic livestock value chain N Taylor

A value chain is the set of actors, transactions, information flows, and institutions that enable value to be delivered to the customer (Baker 2007)

Inputs & Services Production Processing Marketing Consumers

Past research has focused specific aspects of given value chains, commodities and country.

Major intervention with development partners

Approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact

2. New ways of thinking about animal source food

Animal-source foods are not appropriate targets for research-for-development because they are luxury foods and bad for our health.

Small-scale production and marketing systems are disappearing with the rapid development of large-scale industry, trade and retail.

Promoting livestock and aquaculture development will have negative environmental impacts

6 Cross-cutting: gender, impact, M&E, comms, capacity building

Delivering CRP3.7 Livestock + Fish

Structure: Six integrated Components

Research Activities Mostly focused on delivering on pre-existing

commitments

Engagement in Tanzania dairy and Uganda pig value chains initiated with new funding, including CRP4 food safety activities

New project phase in Egypt aquaculture; new dairy genetics work in Senegal

Promises of IFAD/EC funding to begin value chain work in Mali and Ethiopia

CRP4 Conceptual Framework

Improved availability, access, intake of nutritious,

safe foods

Increased knowledge of nutrition, food safety

CRP4’s strategic goal: Accelerate progress in improving the nutrition and health of poor people by leveraging agriculture and enhancing the synergies in joint efforts between agriculture, health and nutrition

Initial Research Priorities

NUTRITIONAL VALUE CHAINS • Revise current value chain frameworks and assessments to better include

nutritional quality (and food safety) • co-develop specific opportunities for enhancing nutritional quality for

women, infants and young children in value chains for nutrient rich foods

BIO-FORTIFICATION – HARVEST PLUS • continue bio-fortified crop development and evaluation • enhance delivery spillovers - new countries and commercial value chains

AGRICULTURE-ASSOCIATED DISEASES • Food safety • Zoonoses and emerging infectious diseases

INTEGRATED PROGRAMS AND POLICIES • continue to strengthen program evaluation, working with partners, including

new cross-sectoral metrics and approaches • cross-sectoral priorities and policies with key partners in SSA and South Asia

ASSUMPTIONS / HYPOTHESES

1. Nutrient dense foods on basic diets can have

important outcomes

2. Informal markets are most important and require risk-

and incentive based approaches

3. CGIAR research can work effectively at the demand

side: (pull mechanisms)

4. CGIAR research has potential for consumer education,

health
